NEWS RELEASE
TEEKAY ANNOUNCES JOINT ACQUISITION
OF OMI CORPORATION
Nassau, The Bahamas, April 17, 2007 Teekay Shipping Corporation (Teekay or the Company)
(NYSE: TK) today announced that Teekay and A/S Dampskibsselskabet TORM (TORM) (CSE: TORM and
NASDAQ: TRMD) have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OMI Corporation (OMI) (NYSE:
OMM), a major international owner and operator of Suezmax and product tankers.
Under the agreement, Teekay and TORM will offer $29.25 per share for the outstanding common shares
of OMI, representing a total transaction cost of approximately $2.2 billion, including assumed net
debt and transaction costs. Teekay will pay approximately $1.1 billion for its 50 percent share of
OMIs assets and expects the acquisition to provide cash flow from vessel operations of
approximately $145 million(1) in 2008. Teekay will fund the acquisition with a
combination of cash on hand, existing revolving credit facilities and a new $700 million credit
facility. Teekay estimates that the acquisition will be immediately accretive to earnings in 2007,
and increase its 2008 earnings per share by approximately 10 percent(2).
Teekay will acquire seven Suezmax tankers, four Medium Range product tankers and four Handysize
product tankers (including one newbuilding scheduled to deliver in 2009), and will also assume the
in-charters of a further six Suezmaxes. The vessels will provide Teekay with stable cash flow as
18 of the 21 ships to be acquired are currently serving under fixed-rate time-charters that have
an average remaining term of 2.5 years. The OMI fleet is entirely double-hull and has an average
age of approximately four years. In addition, Teekay will take over OMIs third party asset
management business including the vessels trading in the Gemini Pool.
The combined Teekay/OMI Suezmax fleet will consist of 33 existing tankers and 10 newbuildings, and
it is expected that the combination will create revenue synergies through greater scale and higher
fleet utilization in Teekays existing Suezmax business.
The acquisition of eight Medium-Range and Handysize product tankers to be acquired from OMI
doubles Teekays fleet of medium-sized product tankers, and compliments the Companys growing
presence in both Large Range II and Intermediate product tankers.
The OMI assets are a great strategic fit, both in terms of allowing us to offer our customers a
broader, more flexible service and the opportunity to generate significant revenue synergies
across our conventional tanker fleet, said Bjorn Moller, Teekays President and Chief Executive
Officer. This transaction represents another step in the consolidation of the tanker industry and
it positions Teekay as the clear leader in the medium-sized crude oil tanker segment while also
strengthening our growing product tanker business. Mr. Moller continued, In addition to
acquiring one of the worlds most modern tanker fleets we will also be adding to Teekays asset
management business through OMIs chartering pools and alliances.
Under the agreement, Teekay and TORM are required to commence a tender offer to the OMI
shareholders on or before April 27, 2007. The tender offer will be subject to acceptance from OMI
shareholders representing over 50 percent of OMIs outstanding shares as well as receipt of
standard regulatory approvals. If the tender is successful, the transaction is expected to close
during the second quarter of 2007. OMI will promptly file a copy of the definitive agreement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(1) Assuming average spot Suezmax TCE rate of $45,000 per day in 2008. Please see
the associated presentation to this release at the Companys Web
site at www.teekay.com for
a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(2) Assuming Teekays earnings per share (excluding OMI) of $4.50 in 2008
